Our second visit to grants. Food was amazing. Highly recommend the steak. Service was great!

A little gem. Had a lovely meal, the food was excellent, the staff attentive and friendly. Would definitely recommend

Our first visit for a very long time. At first, we were put upstairs, which we found a bit soulless but we were then offered a table downstairs. This was far better. The menu was very limited but two of our party had venison and two had fish and chips. We all rated the food excellent. Staff were very courteous and welcoming and though we took our time, nobody made us feel we should leave. Well done, everyone

Great food, great service

Excellent food at a great price. We are vegetarians and were more than happy with the choices on offer. Delicious falafel burger.

Every single course was superb - so delicious! Would definitely recommend. Owners both lovely people too.

We visit the Wheatsheaf on a regular basis. Love the food and friendly staff, especially Andrew who is always ready to have a friendly welcoming chat and advises us on the latest specials. Excellent venue.

Had a meal with 2 friends. The food was excellent and attentive service with friendly staff. I would recommend .

Had a lovely meal here last night. Food excellent staff friendly and attentive service very good.

Visited for Pie Night last week of January 2022. We love this restaurant and are frequent visitors. Since the new chef/patron took over last year the standard of food and service has improved hugely, and it is a delight to have this place in our little town. Pie was fabulous, and a smart choice for the January clientele. Family business too, so very happy to support that!

My wife and I were on a short break in Penrith. We found this restaurant on TripAdvisor and decided to give it a try. We were not disappointed. The service was excellent and the food was top notch. I had the fillet steak. It was cooked to perfection and exactly how I like it (medium rare). My wife had the pheasant and again it tasted wonderful. All told a wonderful, relaxing experience and looking forward to our next trip

Has a lovely lunch with 3 friends,food was excellent and service was first class. Ladies toilet was immaculate with lovely products. A very enjoyable afternoon and I would highly recommend.

Excellent meal very good choice on the menu. Had deep fried mushrooms and pollo al forno both were delicious.. There were four of us and all said how nice there food was. We will definitely be back..

Grant’s has an unassuming outside, but we had heard positive things about the food and service. The food was good quality traditional fine dining, though nothing innovative or different. The service was sadly lacking and did not do justice to the quality of food. The table was not set correctly with mismatched cutlery and mismatched wine glasses. The young server had not been shown how to greet customers, pour wine (our bottle loudly plonked on our table without showing us the bottle, or pouring our first glass) and was not familiar enough with the menu to make recommendations, or sell sides. She was not forthcoming with details of the ‘locally sourced cheeses’ on the cheese board and did not get the information despite our request. On the whole, good quality traditional food was let down by front of house staff, and inattention to details that would have really elevated our experience.

Lovely food, quick service, but even quicker to receive the bill without even asking us if we were ready for the bill. Shame it all felt so rushed.

We received a voucher for Afternoon Tea for Two, so decided to book in to brighten up a January day. We booked for 2pm on a Sunday and stood in reception for a little while before being shown in by a gentleman and to our little table for 2 by the window. We were asked if we'd like tea or coffee and had only a short wait before our food and drinks arrived. The lady who brought out our food was friendly and explained what each cake and savory item was on the tea stand. Some of the savory items could have done with being warm, but we're still very tasty. The cakes were all lovely and fresh tasting and was overall very good. There was just the right amount of food too without it being too much. We did hand our voucher over after we has finished and we sat and waited a little while to be acknowledged again before we left, as it would have felt rude to simply leave and not thank anybody and to ensure all was okay with the voucher. All in all a lovely relaxing atmosphere with a friendly team, in a beautiful setting.
